This has to be very very clear that we need representation in indian
parliament not by only election, but also by nomination.
People are nominated from different walks of life in rajya sabha, so
why not from our community as well!!!
Let's do something about it together.

thought. We would either flood the parliament with blind people and rule
the country the way we want, or on a more serious note, send out a strong

It could well be true, but if you want to change public perception or
the apprehension for voting for a person with disability we should
contest. Parties will eventually accept if they see the winning

Hi all,
I think it is a good thought and positive move in the politics if it
is going to happen soon, but in India it is all about money and many
other things also play a vital role like, caste, religion, region,

yes i do believe that disabled friends, especially visually challengved must
enter politics.
only then we could see a much more meaningfull laws being framed. in our state
at present we could see many changes in the outlook of the government towards
